Terminals UI disappears on Windows 10 #107

markdemich commented 6 years ago

I use terminals daily. I have Windows 10 and recently within the last couple of weeks, my terminals UI disappears when I switch to another window. I can see the process running in the background, but there's not UI window to be found. I ultimately have to start up a new instance and reconnect to all my boxes. After doing that I can still see the other application in the background using task manager, so it's still there.

Also, I tried setting the option to allow only one instance thinking that when I start it again it will magically attach to the hidden one, but that's not the case. It just creates a new instance with no connections.

I suspect there was some kind of Windows 10 update that broke this. If I can give any more details to help fix this, please let me know.

It's not available down in the tray either?

It happens to me a fair bit, but I have the icon in the notification area of the task bar so can reacquire it. The window does disappear reasonably frequently under certain circumstances where a normal window will not. It will also pop up under other windows & no come to the foreground when you click on the icon on the task bar.

The problem is: when you minimize (by clicking on the minimize icon top right corner) the terminals window the process closes my WinVersion: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.15]

I correct myself - It just minimizes to the system tray whilst I would expect to just minimize the window and stay in the task bar - this behaviour can be changed in the options settings

Did you check the Interface > System tray checkbox in Application options? This option is confusing and i am considering to remove this feature or at least change the default behavior.
